Alexandra Davids is a New Zealand National Party politician and community figure based in Christchurch, with a candidacy for the Christchurch East electorate announced for 2026 [33].

Prior to her political involvement, Davids worked as a crisis support worker and volunteer in the domestic violence sector [3][7], and has also been identified as a community advocate [2].

Davids became involved in Christchurch local government from at least 2013, when, according to a single reputable secondary source, she stood as a candidate on the City 1st ticket for the Hagley-Ferrymead ward for both city councillor and community board [21][22][40]. She subsequently served as a member of the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board [28], with one source placing her initial membership from 2013 [39], and went on to chair that board [23]. According to a single reputable secondary source, she also held membership of the Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board at an earlier point [27]. She is noted as having been a three-time candidate against Yani Johanson for the Linwood city council seat, according to a single reputable secondary source [29], including as a candidate for Linwood Ward Councillor at the October 2019 election [19] and for Central Ward Councillor at the October 2022 election [18].

In civic roles beyond the community board, Davids has served as immediate past chair of both Keep Christchurch Beautiful and Keep New Zealand Beautiful [13][14]. According to a single reputable secondary source, she also held the chair roles of those organisations [8][9] and chaired Whitau School [10]. She is also identified, by single reputable secondary sources, as an elected member of the National Young Elected Members Board [11] and of the national Community Board Executive Committee [12], a trustee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation [17], and a volunteer with both Project K and the Christchurch City Mission [30][31].

Davids is an affiliate of the National Party [42]. According to a single reputable secondary source, she has also previously been associated with the City 1st grouping [40] and stood under the banner "Your Positive Vice For Linwood" in 2019 [44].
